No signs of a cold kept Serena Williams from getting the job done against Sharar Peer. After losing the first seven points, Williams won the next nine in a row. No. 1 Williams knocked out the No. 18 seed, 6-3, 6-2 with the first set lasting under a half an hour.
Justin Henin also won her first set in just a half an hour. However, the Belgian – who hasn’t lost at Roland Garros since 2004 – was unable to handle Sam Stosur, losing in three sets, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4.
